parents and children used the blog to search for and find each other. the blog is full of names and messages, even today. >> people's sadness, anger and fear run sunday. they simultaneously experienced earthquake, a tsunami and nuclear contamination. food has become scarce. pele have lost their hope for the future. people in the disaster zones could be helped if petrol supply could finally be delivered to the provinces. >> after the earthquake, my immediate thought was that the reactors in fukushima could not be cooled anymore. there was no information from the government. the nuclear power plant has been in fukushima since i was born. i never paid much attention to it. the message was that radiation had no effect on the human body. i was reassured at the time. >> have a two-year-old and a 4-year-old. my children made an origami and give it to me to make me smile. a gift voucher for laughter. i can work harder. i can work -- push myself more. many people are worse off than me. they are suffering more than me. i cannot complain. >> still much too early t

thanks for being with us. now, as we know, there have been two explosions at the fukushima plant. now there talk of a meltdown. what does this mean and how serious is it for the people of that area? >> well, it's potentially very serious. over 170,000 people have been evacuated in the media area. the explosions on the one what's happening. that was caused by elemental hydrogen released by the partial meltdowns that the japanese government is saying probably has happened. the more grave event, what they're trying to stop is a total meltdown inside the reaction chamber itself and inside the primary construction that would shield the immediate environment from more radiation. >> ok. now, in order to prevent this meltdown, what needs to be done? >> it has to be cooled but cooled very carefully because it's extremely hot there now, well over 1000 degrees celcius. when you add water to the mixture it can be very explosive. they are using seawater mixed with boron, a neutron absorber which is able to interfere with nuclear chain reactions. that is thew last-ditch thing they're doing. >>

thanks as always for being with us, derek. can you explain for us what has been done on thursday at the plant to cool down these reactors? >> well, on thursday, really a lot of what happened revolved around these pools that are inside of the secondary structure of the building where they store dispensed fuel rods. that at the moment seems to be one of the biggest dangers of a massive radioactive leak. until now, people have been worried about the reactors themselves and breaching the containment chamber and possible meltdown and explosion and now they have got it to an extent under control. we haven't heard anything in that direction in the last 24 hours or so. now people are focused on the spent fuel rods and the drarnse that they pose to the immediate environment and possibly longer term to tokyo. >> the teams at the plant are expected to have the power lines up and running again soon. what kind of effect will that have? >> that's a very positive development, actually. it's one of the reasons that everybody began to breathe
